Our take
YourParkingSpace enables private owners and commercial parking space operators to fill their empty parking spaces by connecting them to drivers online. Through a combination of proprietary technology and live data analytics, the company's intelligent parking solutions allow users to monetise under-utilised resources, while better serving drivers.
Live across cities in the UK, the company markets hundreds of thousands of parking bays, working with partners such as Tesco, Morrisons and Premier Inn. Large space owners are showing increasing interest in optimising their parking assets, as the rise of eCommerce contributes to reduced footfall, which is a great opportunity for YourParkingSpace.
In 2022, the company was acquired by urban mobility company Flowbird. This will allow them to improve their technology and integrate into Flowbird's 80-city-plus network - a great step towards a lucrative future.
